Not much to report this week- other than the weather. We had an ice storm, our second of the winter. Needless to say, that didn't translate to a lot of work done on the hill. And it didn't give us much in the way of precipitation either. Everything in town melted within 24 hours, but there was still ice on 2012 after 48 hours- and on the ground in front of the house after 72 hours. Guess I'd better make sure the pantry is stocked in the winter once I move in!
There was zero rock work done this week. First because of the ice and then because Johnny took his guys to complete a small project elsewhere. He said maybe it would give Mike's guys time to get out of his way...I spoke with him yesterday, and he went on about how nice it was to work withAustin Stone. No dry stack, very easy cutting and chopping, not having to choose from six different kinds of stone. But even he admitted he won't be more proud of anything he has done than the dry stack on Big Hill. I think his dry stack price just went up.
Lalo and team completed the kitchen cabinets with the glossy finish, then promptly covered them up to protect them from the ever present dust. He is now on to completing the last seal on all the dark wood. There still seem to be a lot of drawer front and cabinet doors stacked up here and there.
David completed the fake beam over the front entryway and did a little more ceiling trim. I understand this week he will frame out the corner window. We are using sanded rough cypress and staining it dark to match the beams and to differentiate it from the remaining window trim.
Mike didn't finish the roof this weekend. Just a few more feet on the main roof to do, but he thinks he will have to order more metal for the back. Hope that doesn't take as long as it did last time.
Also hope I have more visible progress to report next week.
